"This will sound very odd indeed, coming from me," Arlia paused and wrapped her arms around her lover's head, one hand caressing his cheek and another gently running through his silver hair, "but Sarah wouldn't desire vengeance.

We have to continue fighting, not only in memory of Sarah, but also for the sake of other people so they don't have to go through what we all go through."
